There are so many amazing people who do amazing things and this is the chance to nominate someone special and those who inspire others to live and work in a better community.

Saints fan Neil Tucker hosted a coffee morning at the Red V cafe at Langtree Park on Wednesday 23rd September in aid of MacMillan Cancer Support and the Steve Prescott Foundation.

Neil hailed the day as a great success and said.

"In total we raised £400 through the morning. The team at Saints from waiting on staff to executives have been absolutely fantastic. My friend Rowena Thomas baked over 40 Saints cupcakes for the big day.

"Just thought I'd email you a couple of pictures of my beautiful daughter Ava with a present bought for me for Christmas by my wife, a special present. Steve was my idol in a Hull FC shirt from growing up in the later days of the Boulevard to the KC Stadium and in rugby league in general. I will be making sure my daughter is taught about Steve, who he was and what an amazing person he was and what kind of amazing lasting memory he left the world of rugby league."

Thanks Andy for sharing the photos of Ava. Its really good to know the next generation will be aware of the legacy of Steve Prescott thanks to the fantastic support of the rugby league family

Neil Tucker has very kindly offered to raise funds for the Steve Prescott Foundation (SPF) and Macmillan Cancer Support at a Coffee morning to be held on 23rd September in the Red V cafe bar, Langtree Park, St Helens from 10am to 1pm.

Neil is 37 years old and 5 years ago was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin’s lymphoma. After five lots of treatment he was put in remission. Neil says, ‘The thing that kept me going was my odd conversation with Stevie. He always asked how I was and what stage of chemotherapy I was up to. He was the most considerate man I know. Then 6 months ago my cancer comeback, which thankfully now is in remission. I'm sure Stevie was looking over me saying ‘Fight it, I did you can.’ I've just done my first brave thing, the shave for MacMillan which involved shaving my hair, eyebrows and my beard clean off which raised £85. Stevie is my idol and will always be ’

"Team Precky"are running the Oxford half marathon 2014 in Stephen's memory after he sadly passed away on November 9th 2013.

Linzi said "Stephen has inspired us, non runners, to put on our running shoes after watching how he pushed his body to the limits, by completing endurance challenges, whilst suffering from terminal cancer to raise over half a million pounds for the charity he set up 'The Steve Prescott Foundation.'

This year marks the 100 year anniversary of the start of World War One. It is important that we never forget the great sacrifices made by those who fought in the Great War, in giving up their lives for our freedom today. Rugby League has always been known for the bravery shown by its players, but most supporters will not know that 3 Rugby League players were awarded the Victoria Cross for their great acts of bravery in the Great War.

Saints Historian Alex Service tells Wilf's incredible story.

Born in 1935, Wilf was a stalwart of his home-town club and was present at Langtree for the Players' Association luncheon a few weeks ago - as he always did - where he was in the company of his many friends and team-mates.

He was a stalwart of the St. Helens club - the ultimate clubman, in fact - and it is quite true to say that the game was in his blood. His father, Tommy, was a fine second-row forward with the old St. Helens Recs team between the wars and was part of the famous ‘Smith, Fildes and Mulvanney' back three!

Unfortunately, Tommy, who played more games for the Recs than anyone else [460] died when Wilf was in his very early childhood, but Wilf was naturally extremely proud of his father's achievements. The family rugby links have continued: it should also be noted that Wilf's son-in-law is Gary Connol
